it rained last night and a little bit today. that set me up for a day of just pure fucking misery. my arthritis has been raging since 3 in the morning. mind you, i didn't get to sleep until 5:30 this morning. the phone woke me up at 10 and i have been up since. there will most likely be a crash soon. joy.
grocery shopping went well today. of course, Rite Aid texted me at 2:30, while i was at Kroger, to tell me my Trulicity shots were ready to be picked up. so, after i unloaded everything at the house and put it away, i had to go there. and of course, it was sprinkling. at least the cost on the shots was $0.
the Yankees won last night at Toronto, 2-0. that was unexpected. Gerrit Cole pitches against the Blue Jays tonight.
NXT was very good last night.
the season finale of Deadliest Catch was crazy last night.
Inside the NFL was pretty good last night.
both episodes of Welcome to Wrexham were great last night.
Name That Tune was very good last night.
The Voice was good last night.
i did make it home in time to see Newcastle knock out Manchester City from the Carabao Cup. of course, in the next round, Manchester United will host Newcastle. that's a rematch from last year's final.
i did watch some of the New York Rangers preseason game last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, American Horror Story and The Masked Singer.
i was in the grocery store when the big NBA trade happened today. and since a former Dayton Flyer is involved in it, i am now very interested in it.
i know i'm supposed to take mom to an appointment tomorrow afternoon. she said something about having to call scheduling to maybe reschedule that appointment. basically, as always, i'm on standby.
i need to get dinner going and get some ice on my back, so that's all for me today kids.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
it was one of those nights where i could never get comfortable in bed. between the phantom pains in my left leg from a blood clot years ago to a pinched nerve in my neck that i thought was getting better... i couldn't find a spot to sleep for anything. sometime around 5 AM, exhaustion took over my body. of course, i saw the clock at 6 and then 7 and then at 9:30, i said fuck it. and then i somehow managed to strain my Achilles tendon while standing up. as i told my mother, it is the official sign i am getting old, falling apart and the dirt will be coming soon. she laughed as she knows i won't be dead anytime soon. of course, the same thing goes for her as well.
the Yankees lost last night to the Reds, 7-6, in 10 innings. they start a series tonight at home against the Red Sox. hopefully they will clean up the mistakes and actually play good baseball again before the All Star break.
the USWNT defeated Costa Rica last night, 3-0. they will play Canada in the finals of the CONCACAF women's championship on Monday.
Big Brother was interesting last night. Paloma left the game because of her anxiety getting the best of her. i want to believe that, but the cynical fuck in me thinks this is her cover for the racist shit she started against Taylor. so, no one got "evicted" last night. Jasmine is the new HOH.
The Old Man was fucking great last night. the season finale is next week.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
Manchester United won 4-1 today in Australia. and better yet, Christian Eriksen is finally a red.
the New York Rangers signed their first draft pick already. i really like this kid.
i should be on here tomorrow after i go to the bank and probably do some other Saturday morning shopping.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
